So Many Summers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look at that road, look at that sunset
Look at that girl waitin' on the porch
It's gonna be a cold September
Tell me, boy, what are you waitin' for?
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers

[Verse 2]
So go to that party, light that fire
Hold her hand in the hot moonlight
Lose track of time, pull an all-nighter
When the sun comes up, kiss her goodnight
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers

[Chorus]
So swing for the fence
Jump in the water
Soak it all in
Watch all the bobbers
Play the songs on ten
Tell her you love her
Wake up and do it again
You only get so many summеrs
You only get so many summers
[Verse 3]
I'd make monеy cuttin' grass
Mama'd make her sweet tea
I was growin' up fast and eventually
When Dad would wanna play catch
I'd say maybe some other time
I wanna grab that kid
Say are you out of your mind?
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 4]
I saw a man in the park, eighty years on his face
He was watchin' his grandkids and my kids play
Said you'll wake up tomorrow and that car will be packed
They'll roll off to college and they'll never look back
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers
You only get so many summers

[Chorus]
So swing for the fence
Jump in the water
(In the water, water, water)
Play the songs on ten
Tell her you love her
Wake up and do it again
Soak it all in, watch all the bobbers
Do it again
You only get so many summers

What did Brad Paisley say about "So Many Summers"?
Genius Answer

So many summers really is basically saying the clock’s ticking. I see it as me talking to me saying, ‘Hey, you know, it’s gonna be a cold September. This relationship’s not gonna last past August, so go pick her up and go have a date, and don’t be late tonight. The rest of the song is talking about these things … it’s only time and perspective that really does make you go, 'Oh, well, that’s over.’
